First, let me say that I really love PP and have been a happy user for the last three version. However that was under Windows and one PC.
I have now bought a MacBook Pro (MBP) and an iMac. Main reason is business continuity - I have also bought a 4TB LaCie Thunderbolt connected drive enclosure. I have placed my Mac OS X Lion environment on the LaCie and boot the iMac externally off this. If I am away from home, or should the iMac get sick, I can take the LaCie and have the MBP boot from it. This way I am protected to a large degree from h/w failures. My entire operating environment can be run on any current Mac plaform (as long as it has Thunderbolt connection). All my programs and data work - EXCEPT PP!
PP thinks that if I run on another cpu I must be breaking the license, and has to be re-activated. This is NOT TRUE (I was going to use another word here). I am the same ONE person, trying to run the same one installed program, off the same one hard drive. Lightroom is happy with this, so is Microsoft Office for Mac. Why is PP not happy???
This is SO FRUSTRATING! Come ON guys! If you want to play with professional users, don't make our lives a misery with this crazy license system! Take note from the big boys, such as Microsoft, Adobe, etc.
This is driving me nuts!
